PAST HISTORY : Patient of Mild Cerebral Palcy
Dr. PURUSHOTTAM REDDY PADALA answered : 8 years ago
Sorry to hear about your son's CP.
This is called gasto-soleus contracture. This is part of a spectrum of locomotive conditions associated with cerebral palsy.
Whether he will require gasto-soleus release or tendo-achilles lengthening, is based on clinical assessment when I see the child. The condition is completely curable. Success rate is high.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
